About the Book

As a boy, Hardeep Singh Kohli knew where home was: Glasgow. But everyone else always assumed he was Indian. Because surely he couldn't be British, with his brown skin and turban? Thirty years later, Hardeep sets out on a journey to discover where he is really from. His story is as hilarious as it is moving.

About the Author :
HARDEEP SINGH KOHLI was born in Glasgow in 1969. A BAFTA-winning broadcaster, he was the writer of the Channel 4 hit Meet the Magoons, a presenter of Radio 4's Saturday Live, Midweek and The Food Programme, as well as contributor to numerous radio programmes such as Radio 4's Front Row and Radio 3's Nightwaves, and a movie reviewer on BBC Radio 5 Live. His weekly column, 'Hardeep is your love?', appears in Scotland on Sunday. Hardeep is often found clad in turban and kilt as panellist and presenter of Newsnight Review, and has appeared on Question Time. He is currently presenting on the BBC hit programme The One Show. He was also a runner-up on Celebrity Masterchef. This is his first book.

Review :
* How deep is Hardeep's love of food? As deep as Loch Ness and as unfathomable as India. Indian Takeaway is a very funny and beguiling journey. -- Paul Whitehouse * Touching ... Kohli is observant, and he writes evocatively. Guardian * A chatty, funny book ... the pleasure is in the journey. The Times * This is a sweetly written, immensely funny book from a man whose enthusiasm for food and friendship is infectious, a book that makes your mouth water and your feet itch at the same time. Daily Express * [Kohli's] book is less about food than about the experience of being mixed up - Glaswegian, Sikh and middle child ... Amid all the comedy, he does have an important point to make ... Food has become a cultural ambassador that has to perform the hardest tasks of diplomacy often under hostile or patronizing conditions. Kohli handles these negotiations with a distinctive and welcome aplomb. Times Literary Supplement * A warm and endearing memoir of personal and cultural discovery. Metro
